[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pressure comes from parents. There are healthy and unhealthy pathways for kids to choose through all of these schools. It depends on the values and pressure they get from home.( I am a longtime Independent school teacher, administrator and parent. )[/quote]

Ok, but I am a much more anxious parent when I'm around other anxious/high strung parents. And my kid is that way too.  Any human with the social skills is going to be affected by the other people around them.

By targeting a school with a range of learners that focuses on balance, you find school communities who are attracted to that balance. By targeting schools that focus on rigor or prestige, you find school communities who are attracted to that rigor and prestige. [/quote]

But this is not true of everyone. Some kids are just wired differently and are not overly affected by other people’s stress. It seems their parents are often the same. Nature or nurture, I’m not sure.[/quote]
